Didn't even know CB carried the S621. If you flash with hard spl first, you don't need to worry about having to restore to a CB flash if you mess up a flash. Beside, I doubt you'll want to go back to WM6.0 after trying out WM6.1.
[HTC Excalibur] kojigushi:
I am trying out kavana 6.1 on one of them but its a memory hog and running opera on the java kills the machine. I love the sliding home theme in there.

I just want to backup just in case I want to go back =to the original flash which has been more stable. they have had it for a year now. now they finally added more win mob phones like diamond and stuff
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Do a search for the pagepool changer (linked in the Ricky and Stylez remake of the NRG ROM thread). Use that to change the pagepool of the Kavana ROM to 4.5mb and you'll have about 25mb free on startup. I'd also try out Ricky's v24 remake of that ROM, which includes some other applications in it that you may find useful. It supposedly runs well with a 4.5mb pagepool as well.

i have been using my dash for cbw for a week now.... i didnt know they had them there.. it works great on there network... little slow watching videos on skyfire but wifi takes care of that... have you tried skyfire on there rom and if so was it fast..i may have the wrong network setting
[HTC Excalibur] kojigushi:
I had tried skyfire on the brightxxx 6.0 rom as my s621 was 5 and I uped it to 6. anyways skyfire had problems starting up and was slow to run . I gave up on it and used opera which ran fine. but the Java engine drains battery quick
[HTC Excalibur] jonygon:
So... how can we backup the orignal rom

Hi there, I just bought the excalibur a few days ago and I want to update it.

But as kojigushi has said, I want to backup the orignal rom from Mexico Telcel carrier, for garanty issues if necesssary. What tool can I use to backup and then to restore it???

:) Hello everyone

After trying all the phone lock software out there I still can’t find what I’m looking for, what I’m looking for is so simple an icon in the start menu to lock the phone then r2u or t2u & unlock when phone rings and that’s it. I don’t like the idea of having to press the power button to wake up the screen to be able to unlock the device I’m also not interested in all of the other features that most of the phone lock’s have. Can someone help?

I have tried sensor lock I did like it a lot but I was unable to configure it and you could tell it was running in the background as the screen would jump. Plus throw in my case and a few beers and I know I’m going to drop it.

Many Thanks Jez

A list of phone lock programs you will need to search for them as some of the links aren’t applicable any more and I did need not save the ones that are working

Throttle lock

S2u2

Sunscape

Touchlock pro

Phone buddy

M lock

Organic lock

Pocket shield

Sensor lock

Lock me tight

Stylus lock
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gbjack:
try Auto Lock (CSDEVCTRL), you could slide to the right on the screen to unlock the phone or use the windows default unlock.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jez.stix:
Hello gbjack

Just tried that app and it’s just to much setting up and I don't think it’s going to do what I want it to do. Just hope someone is willing to write a program going by all the forums I have searched it will be popular

Cheer’s for the reply and suggestion
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ati75:
I tried many lock apps as well, but in the end the standard windows lock is what im using. No hassle, and it simply works as intended. I just press the "hangup" virtual button, and after the second vibration feedback i can be sure that the phone is locked. Doesn't get any simpler than that.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gbjack:
Then you have to try "	WWE-Chobit Company SmartLock 1.7B". Only four or five options but it cannot lock your hardware key during call.

Just tried that app and it’s not even showing in programs for me to set it up, so I will have to keep looking, it amazes me that no one has written a program like I’m after considering it’s so simple.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jpl69:
This is good specialy the turn on bluetooth on call feature, but when we have an income call, the app takes ages to know what to do and the phone only begins to ring 5 secs after. Lockmelite it's the best one around but has a problem with alarms going to background after unlock. The "almost perfect" one is s2u but huge memory consuption makes background app's close or restart.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jez.stix:
Hello jpl69

Tried this app found it to involved to setup and still does not do what I am looking for which is tap the screen to wake up so I than can unlock the phone using a s2u app. I find it bizarre that there are many apps to unlock the phone but you still have to push the power button to operate them. Surely it can’t take much program writing to add this feature. Jez
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jpl69:
We have to push an hardware ley to wake up our devices from a low battery consuption state (suspend mode) and unfortunaly only have the power and volume hard keys so if you want to wake up your device with a tap on screen you'll only have a couple of hours with a full charge.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jez.stix:
Now it makes sense why the screen sleeps if the battery only last for a couple of hours. Just a shame that the power button is so fiddly to operate. Jez
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jpl69:
Yes, and it makes no sense having an device lock app (except on incoming calls). I only use it because of my 2 year old son that found the little tiny power on key :), and made a couple of phone calls.

P.S. with a registry tweak you can enable the volume keys to wake up your device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] paulpille:
May be this could be your appropriate application:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
That is brilliant and can be found here.

Simple and effective (needs a reboot after install, and is found under settings.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Flid:
Just to be helpful... here's the brilliantly useful Reg tweak to allow wake-up from the volume keys.

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd

- set key: defaultkeylock from 1 to 0

- softreset

LockMeLite is definitely my favourite (especially with the above tweak), but as mentioned already, the alarm snooze / disappearing to background problem is a constant frustration.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jez.stix:
Hello flid

Sorry for the delay everyone just got back from Canada so been busy catching up and sleeping. So how do I go about tweaking the reg key? I know how navigate to the reg key on a computer but not on my mobile
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fatcatz:
I changed my left soft key to lock the phone on the Home start screen as it was doing nothing useful except jumping to a phone operators website:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKPath = windows\Endkey.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKText = Lock (or whether text you want).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Flid:
You just need a windows mobile registry editor. There are several free ones. My current Dutty ROM has one inbuilt, but from what I can gather the popular options are Total Commander (free!), Schap's Registry (free), PHM RegEdit (which is built in to Dutty's ROM) and Resco Registry Editor (not free - but definitely the most finger friendly). There may well be others.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jez.stix:
Hello flid

I went for Resco explorer in the end now changed the value and it’s so much easier to push the volume button to wake up the phone compared to pushing the power button. The volume button can be operated by one hand while the other hand is poised to s2u sounds sad but it’s the little things that bug me. All I have to do now is learn how to create my own tf3d.

Cheers for all the help Jez

What are the benefits to upgrading my ROM does it make it faster or have more memory? what are the pros and cons of upgrading it?
[General Topics] liehuo:
Hi. From time to time, your device manufacturer will release new ROM. These new ROM has been made to improve or correct several functions. It could be in the form of improved battery life, more free RAM, faster speed etc. As for the disadvantages, I can only think of spoiling your device. You must be careful when you do an upgrade. Make sure you have more than 50% of battery left and remember to backup your data as all data will be wiped out during the upgrade.:)
[General Topics] aprillia99:
Well how do i know if there is anew ROM upgrade and what about the custom ROM im hearing about
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Well, I don't know what your device is, or who it's made by, but try the manufacturer's website. If it's an HTC and it's not from AT&T or another carrier, then try finding your device here. If you have a carrier branded device, navigate to the HTC site of your country, go to support, then all devices, and then choose your branded device.

Once again, I don't know your device, so I cannot give you device-specific info on custom ROMs, but basically a custom ROM is an unofficial, non-HTC approved ROM, which will generally offer more freedom and features than official ROMs. For most HTC devices, there are numerous custom ROMs to choose from. There are many advantages, and very few downsides to using a custom (cooked) ROM, the only ones I can think of are that: (1)you must be somewhat ready to risk your device in order to install a cooked ROM, (2) sometimes the cooked (custom) ROMs can be, on occasion, less stable than stock (carrier) ROMs.

Only a few weeks ago, I flashed my first custom ROM, and now I cannot understand how I went so long with a stock ROM. Though upgrading to a cooked ROM can seem daunting,If you are somewhat technical, and up to flashing a cooked ROM, then I would certainly recommend it.

Same here, we had two Trinity's in at work for software testing, the project got binned but we kept the devices. One became my regular phone, the other sat in my desk doing very little. That one got various flavours of WM6.1 on it until I found a ROM i liked, the one i was using stayed on its stock WM5.

Eventually i bit the bullet and upgraded my own device. Haven't looked back since.

i would love to see an app like this. My guess is that the hard part would be all the "extra" apps we install and their alerts. But maybe something that would control just the default alerts would be pretty easy.

[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Would it not be easier to get together and create a single ROM? If JF releases a version now, there will be what? 3? 4?

So now all themers need to create 3 or 4 ports. Also, I have noticed that a lot of these different ROMs come pre-themed. Isn't this a bit redundant?

Personally I would like a plain-jane ROM without anything added (with the exception of root). Then you can add the options you like as we have in the past rather than have them spoon fed to us whether we like them or not.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Not really. if you are familiar with how rom cooking went with teh other htc phones, each has their own style. Once we get past the "beta" mode of these roms and they are more official, the cookers will be able to theme and do that stuff on their own. You would then pick roms based on features/themes/addons that you like instead of just going with the newest one that is out like we are now.
[G1 Android Development] knight4linux:
Agreed! (This text is just to pass 10 char limit):)
[G1 Android Development] kevdawg:
Agreed. That was half the reason I loved recooking my old Apache every week. :D
[G1 Android Development] Freedomcaller:
but arnt all these builds just different attempts at getting a working 1.5 build?
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Not any longer. The official 1.5 has been released and therefore should just simply be giving people root and adding other options.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
well no, the official hasnt been released till tmo sends it as an OTA. they will add their own "style" (junk apps, and some good stuff if we are lucky) to it and then we will have official builds. Once that happens, there will just need to be root/themes/modifications. each cook will add his own ideas into his roms and will have his own followers. There will continue to be branches off of each style as we have seen with JF > lucidrem, haykuro > TheDude etc.

I remember when JF made his first rom and I started hoping this would happen. It did not seem like it would based on what was required, but we are fast approaching a rom kitchen like environment in Android where any custom build you can dream will be available. Lets see the iphone do that!
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Good point DarkRift....

I went ahead and tested out Haykuro's version and while it's pretty stable, hate the fact that half of my apps no longer work. For this reason, I'm probably going back to JF1.43 until the devs have time to get the software working on 1.5.
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
100% agree ...

We developers have to support 3, 4 or more different roms (different app2sd-mods not included) - that generates an unbelievable workload!

So, why not having one single base (a plain-jane rom) and all firmware-"modders" could publish one single "update.zip" (which can be applied to this basic rom) to make (specified) changes (like I've done with my kernel-update for ADP1.5 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3699701&postcount=157)
[G1 Android Development] Azlum:
100% Disagree ....

In my past experience with a few htc wm phones, I've seen that competition between the rom "cooks" is exactly what drives them to create the next greatest rom! If they all teamed up then there wouldn't be any roms to compete against and they might lose their desire to keep improving.

And as to the extra workload for devs.... unless you are themeing, there is no extra work required? I am developing for android and the only extra workload I have is making sure my stuff works with both 1.1 and 1.5... the specific rom makes no difference. Edit: I see you are the dev of wifi tether... in which case I'm obviously completely wrong, and I agree it must be a pain in the ass(in your scenario) to make your stuff work in every rom.

This whole conversation is moot anyways, because it will never happen. Even if the current "cooks" all teamed up and worked on one rom, new people would come along who want to make their OWN rom that's different, and the cycle would continue.
[G1 Android Development] diaztradeinc:
The growth of new Dev's are pretty exciting for me. I love to see that we have options, everyday I have something to look forward to with all these new builds, and I hope more Dev's jump on in with new and fresh ideas. Hey you never know some one can jump in XDA with a genius mind and make our UI look like the Ophone. :D Now wouldn't that excite you knowing you can jump to that rom instead of being stuck on 1?
[G1 Android Development] foxmeister:
Incorrect. HTC has released 1.5 as an update for ADP (Dev) phones. So it *is* officially out there for Dev phones, just not an "official" TMo release for TMo branded G1s, which personally I don't particularly care about anyway ( ;)

) as I'd always take a manufacturer rom over a carrier one. I'd expect a TMo 1.5 to be practically the same as the HTC one, with additional bloatware!

Regards,

Dave
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
I love having all of these roms to choose from. I'm just having trouble deciding whether to give up the pdf reader, HTC VK and camera, for the ADP1.5H with multitouch. I'm thinking that sooner or later, I will be able to have all of those things in one rom though.

I am still on Haykuro's HTC build, and my phone is waaaay more exciting than the fruit phone!

The only thing that I can see wrong with this phone now, is that HTC didn't include more internal memory from the beginning. Even with the apps to sd fixes, there are still problems which crop up with those.
[G1 Android Development] serialtoon:
Quality over Quantity. If they all hooked up together and made on EPIC 1.5 ROM that was plain jane but 110% stable, i would love them for it. But in the end, im waiting for JF's build. Im sure thats what he is doing.
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
As has been stated by people such as "Big in Japan" though....

So basically, if there are ROMs that affect the software, devs will need to "choose" which ROM to use their software on. Although this is a little extreme and MOST of the time this won't be an issue, what if ROM cooking goes that far? Will you be willing to deal without applications that you use to have something else?

Just something to keep in mind.
[G1 Android Development] foxmeister:
If the developers were using private APIs during the development of their application, then the fact they are broken on Cupcake is likely to be their own fault for using an API which is not necessarily static and therefore liable to change. If they only used public APIs, then it is Googles fault for changing those APIs, or the behaviour of those APIs.

This is one of the "problems" with Android being open source - you can't realistically hide the private APIs from developers since they can see them being used in the source code, and thus may be tempted to use them when in reality they should be restricting themselves to just the public APIs to ensure forwards and backwards compatibility.

Regards,

Dave
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
I have to agree with everyone who wants to keep things in one.

This does NOT mean that different people can't add particular modifications to what is available, it just means distributing these things as smaller components.

Start with the stock ADP1.5 image. If you want multitouch, apply the update.zip that provides multitouch (and nothing else). If you want tethering, apply the update.zip that provides the kernel with netfilter. If you want a skin (or whatever you want to call it), apply the update.zip that provides it. There is no point in bundling everything together in full system images since all this does is it makes the downloads huge and creates incompatibilities.

For example, I have always used the stock ADP firmware. I have looked at JF's full go and found that while nice, it adds things that I don't want and leaves out things that I do want, which means that it would end up being equal work to adjust those builds into something that I want as it would end up being to modify the stock image. The deciding factor is that I know exactly how my changes work against the stock image and I don't necessarily know what changes JF has made to his.
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
Actually since most builds are only file-based (i.e. changing some files in /system), could we make a program that (with root, of course) download the difference and apply them? Like an android market for firmware builds or say an apt for android.

Then user get the freedom to choose what they want and can go back to previous versions easily when things go wrong.

To be safe, it could just use symbolic links to apply updates, so restoring will be easier and gives the internal flash a longer life.
